tion of. itsv contents may be discharged with- 10 out disturbing theremainder, whereby the i said remainder is preserved and not subject todeterioration. The third object of the invention is the production of acontainer, having a plurality ofcompartments, whereby its .15 contentsmay be divided in predetermined portions. a

In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 represents a section as on the line1, 1 of Fi 2 exemplifying strips of material adapte to l formthecontainer;'Fig.' 2 shows a top plan view of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is an endview of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 1 with a modification;Fig. 5 indicates a perspective of an exemplification of the container;Fig. 6 25 represents a longitudinal section of the contamer; Fig. 7shows a'section of Fig. 6 on the line 7, 7 Fig. 8 shows a perspectiveview of an element of the container; Figs. 9 and 10 show perspectiveviews of modifications of 80 the container and Fig. 11 indicates aperspective view of an element of the modified containers indicated inFigs. 9 and 10.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 3 and 5 to 8, the container in this instance isindicated with a 85 wall composed ofthree sections 20, 21 and 22, theinner edges of which overlap each other and are connected together by anadhesive. The outer end of the section is indicated at 23 and the outerend of the section 22 is indicated at-24. The sections may be made ofpaper or other suitable materials. The section 20 may constitute theinner lining of the finished container and may consist of paraflin paperor tin foil, the next section 21 may be ordinary paper of substantialthickness and the outer section '22 may consist of thin paper, withlegends indicated thereon setting forth the contents of the container,the name of the party selling the container with its product 5 and thelike.

annular tapered si To the inner faceof the sections 20, 21 and 22erssecured a plurality of cutting strings 25 with the extensions 26, thatproject beyond the outer edge of the innermost section 22 and lead outof the finished container. 'af

u The sections 20,- 21 and 22 are v edto form a tube w th the edges ofone sectionbreakin'g omts withtheedges of the section adjacent thereto,as indicated in Fig. 7. The container has therein a plurality of cupshaped so partlt ons each having the disc portion 27 and shapedpartitions are forced into the tube and located therein asindicated'inFi 6 to divide the tube in this instance into t ecompartments 30,31, 32, 33 and 34. The walls 28 of the partitions bear aainst the inner wall of the tube. The outer ace of each wall 28 may besecured in place by means of an adhesive. The disc portions 27 of eachcupshalped partition is located adjacent to one of t ecutting strlngs25. The ends of the wall of the tube are crrmped over the walls 28 ofthe compartments 30 and 34 as indicated'at' 35.

' Referringto Fig. 9 the container is shown wlth sections similar to theone described and differs therefrom in being rectangular in crosssection having the top wall 40, bottom wall 41 and side walls 42.Rectangular cup* shaped partitions having the fiat portions 45 and thetapered walls 46 are in the container and at its ends as'alreadydescribed.

In Fig. 10 a container is shown-similar to the one indicated in Fig. 9with the exception that the partitions are only connected to the ends ofthe tube. In this instance the walls of the container are indicated at50, 51, 52 and 53. One of the end portions'is adapted to be severed fromthe container and is indi-- cated with the flat portion 45. The walls ofthe container are crimped over the walls of the partitions, and acutting string 54 similar to the strings 25 is provided to detach thepartition.

'It will'be noted that the sections 20, 21 and 22 already described arenot all of the same length. The section 21 is somewhat longer than 20and the section 22 is somewhat longer than the section 21, This is nryas the walls of the container increase in diameter when its sections arerolled on each other.

In Fig. 4 the section 21ais much longer than the other sections toenable the middle 5 wall of the container to consist of more than onewinding. In this case. the section 22 is a little longer than section20.

Various modifications may be made in the invention and the presentexemplification is to be taken as illustrative and-1imitative thereof.Having described my invention what I desire to secure by Letters Patentand claim is: In a. container the combination of a plurality of sectionsthe adjacentedges of said sections overlap mg and connected to eachother, the sections :ibrming a tube, the edges of one section" breakingjoints with the edges of the section adjacent thereto, partitionsinserted in 1 said tube andat its ends to form compartments therein andsevering'strings connected 7 to the inner faces of said sections andextending to the outer face of said tube.
